'FBI informant is a Cape Coast-based individual' - Abu Trica alleges

Ghanaian socialite, Frederick Kumi, popularly known as Abu Trica, has made allegations regarding the role of an informant linked to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) following his recent arrest.

Speaking in an interview on Onua TV monitored by GhanaWeb on June 3, 2026, Abu Trica alleged that the informant involved in the matter is an individual based in Cape Coast.

According to him, the individual repeatedly pressured him over an account number and failed to disclose the reason for requesting it.

“When I gave the informant the account, it already had a name attached to it, but they still wanted me to mention another name."

"The informant didn’t even tell me what the account was needed for. He kept disturbing me several times for the account number. The informant is a Cape Coast-based individual,” he claimed.

Abu Trica further alleged that the informant called him nearly twenty times a day after he initially hesitated to provide the account details.

He also claimed that he received only five per cent of the alleged $13,000 that was taken as a share from the transaction.

“The informant could call me about twenty times a day, asking for an account. They sent $50,000 and asked us to take $13,000."

"Even from that $13,000, the account owner took a percentage, and I only received five per cent. The account does not belong to me; I don’t even know the account owner or have his contact,” he added.
